Eighth Race

[ Wally is bored, like so many others. But he learned his lesson after last time, and instead of whining about how bored he is? He's going to talk your ears off. ]

I always did hate politics. Court is adjourned, right? I hate courts too. No good memories ever come out of court. No matter how it ends, somebody comes out with their life thrown out of whack and most of the others come out feeling attacked at one point or the other. It's just one big pile of suck.

Here's an idea, why don't we have a vote about getting McDonald's in the dining hall? The food is good enough, sure, but I'd give my left kidney for a Big Mac. Make the vote for real change on the barge.

I guess I should be glad I'm not in the Justice League. I hear their 'talks' are awful. Still, I have to admit, nobody in the world throws a better party.

I think that's a safe assumption.

['Space British.' He isn't even going to get into that.] Anything after the 27th century should require no extra labour except in putting in supplies.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

So Future McDonald's. I can deal with that.

[batmanschmatman]

Well we wouldn't want that.

I'll be there in a few.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Better bring your A-game.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

When do I bring anything but?

[collector]

Somehow, I thought you could.

private;

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know. Maybe when you have no hope of winning?

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Please. You know me better then that.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I do, but it has been a while since we played b-ball.

[yourunichase]

If we're going to make a vote for some food, I vote for some fucking sushi. Or Chinese.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Chinese, yes! It isn't a Monday night without some Americanized Chinese food.

[yourunichase]

I'd fucking kill for someone who can make actual sushi rice, though.

And beef with garlic sauce.

This whole place has to be up to its knees in funding, maybe some of it should go to revamping the dining hall options.

[yourunichase]

Well, as someone who works on the kitchen staff? The problem is finding some asshole with the know-how.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Why does it have to be an asshole? I know a few perfectly decent human beings who know how to cook.

[yourunichase]

Yeah? Well, considering it's the Barge? My money's gonna be on assholes.

[A beat. Explaining things is good.]

I like assholes. I'm an asshole.

[batmanschmatman]

Doesn't mean I don't have any hope of winning.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Well I guess if you like them, that makes it okay.

private;

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

You always were an optimist.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

It's the only thing keeping me sane.

private;

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

What's that mean?

private;

[batmanschmatman]

... That I try to stay positive and keep fighting the good fight even when everything looks really bleak?

private;

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

You had me worried for a moment there. Losing at basketball isn't that bleak.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Apparently you forgot how important basketball is to me. [/teasing.]
